Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers suffers injury against Buccaneers

The Baltimore Ravens suffered an offensive injury in their Week 7 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In the second quarter at Raymond James Stadium, Ravens receiver Zay Flowers appeared to suffer an ankle injury after being rolled up following a 19-yard run by Antoine Winfield. He jogged off the field before immediately falling to the ground on the sideline. He had an angry look on his face as he was attended to by trainers on the bench.

Flowers also had an 11-yard catch in the first quarter.

Later in the drive, the Ravens reached the end zone with a nine-yard touchdown grab from tight end Mark Andrews to give Tampa Bay a 10-7 lead.

Entering Week 7, Flowers was Baltimore's leading receiver through the first six games. This season, he has 33 catches for 401 yards and one touchdown, highlighted by back-to-back 100-yard games in wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Commanders.

After the win over Washington, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh praised Flowers' abilities.

“(Flowers is) exactly the weapon that we absolutely knew she was and would be and has been, to be honest with you,” Harbaugh said. “He was there the whole time and today the opportunities came. Sometimes the defense doesn't allow that. Sometimes the ball doesn't go your way for whatever reason, but today the chances presented themselves and we had to have them. . .. These catches had to be made in the passing game, and Zay probably made them in the game.

If Flowers ever misses, the Ravens will lean on receivers Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor, as well as Andrews and tight end Isaiah Likely. Baltimore will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.
